FAQs
What should I expect during a personal injury trial?
During a personal injury trial, both sides will present evidence and arguments to a judge and/or jury. The plaintiff (injured party) has the burden of proving their case by a preponderance of the evidence. This means that they must show that it is more likely than not that the defendant (person or entity being sued) was responsible for their injuries and losses. Witnesses may be called to testify, and physical evidence such as medical records and accident reports may be presented. Your lawyer can help prepare you for trial and ensure that your case is presented effectively. It is important to note that most personal injury cases are settled out of court before trial.
What is the process for mediation in a personal injury case?
Mediation and arbitration are alternative dispute resolution processes that can be used to settle a personal injury case outside of court. In mediation, a neutral third party facilitates negotiations between the parties to try to reach a settlement. This process can be less costly and time-consuming than going to court. Your personal injury lawyer can help you determine if mediation may be appropriate for your case.
Do I need to go to court to resolve my personal injury case or can it be settled out of court?
It is possible to settle a personal injury case out of court through negotiation or mediation. This can often be a quicker and less costly way to resolve the case. However, if a settlement cannot be reached, then it may be necessary to go to court to pursue the case. Your personal injury lawyer can help you determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
Can I still recover damages if the accident was partially my fault?
Yes, you may still be able to recover damages even if you were partially at fault for the accident. In some cases, the damages you are entitled to may be reduced to reflect your level of fault. This is called comparative negligence. An experienced personal injury lawyer can help you understand how this may apply to your case and the potential impact on your recovery.
